Volume 1, Chapter 17: The Rabbit Courting Death

"Uh..." This pair of lovebirds singing in harmony left Su Xing speechless, not knowing what to say. After speaking, Tang San raised his right hand, and a faint yellow halo emerged on the surface of his skin. Immediately after, a faint Blue Silver Grass grew from his palm. At this moment, the Blue Silver Grass was several times thicker than before and carried strange patterns.

Early in the morning, Su Xing habitually arrived at the academy's playground and began his ten-kilometer morning run. After saying this, Su Xing ran toward the gate of Nuoding Academy.

"Brother Su, good morning." Tang San sat down opposite Su Xing, carrying a bowl full of porridge.

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Director Su." Hearing Su Xing's voice, Otto walked slowly toward the iron gate and handed over the box in his hand, smiling: "Little friend, the things you needed are ready. This took quite a bit of effort; fortunately, I am also a Soul Master, otherwise, this would have been impossible to make."

"N-n-nothing, San, can you stay away from this person in the future?" Xiao Wu looked terrified and stammered.

After leaving the cafeteria, Su Xing saw an acquaintance, Director Su from the Academic Affairs Office.

"San, who is this?" Su Xing asked, feigning confusion.

After Su Xing came to this world, he had already exerted some influence on the original structure of this world. Perhaps due to the inevitability of the plot, these two had met after all. It was obvious that this little girl was the Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao Wu. Su Xing had no interest in this little rabbit. Su Xing only felt she was a tool character; she descended from the sky without any background, and in the original work, she was simply used to drive the plot.

"Oh, it's Su Xing. Right, I was just looking for you. Someone is looking for you at the school gate; go take a look." Director Su glanced down at Su Xing and said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, a sneer curled at the corner of Su Xing's mouth. His gaze was like a torch, staring fixedly at Xiao Wu, as if he were about to pierce through her soul. As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu had been spoiled by those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Forest. Having just transformed into human form, she spoke very casually, lacking restraint and awareness of consequences.

Once these words were out, a trace of panic immediately appeared on Xiao Wu's pretty face, and her eyes gave the impression of someone who had been badly frightened.

As the sun gradually rose from the east, the pedestrians in Nuoding City also gradually increased. After Su Xing simply purchased some dry rations in the city, he hired a carriage.

After saying this, Su Xing quickly returned to his residence, closed the doors and windows, assembled the Desert Eagle, took out the gunpowder he had prepared in advance, and began making bullets.

"Is that actually a century-old soul ring?" A sound of surprise erupted in the cafeteria.

Hearing this, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction, then put the parts of the Desert Eagle pistol into his Soul Tool and smiled: "It's very well made. We'll cooperate again if there's a chance in the future. Thank you, Uncle Otto."

The main thing was that this rabbit was not a good thing either. After becoming a god, she completely forgot her identity as a soul beast and ignored Tang San's actions that drove soul beasts to near extinction. One wonders what her late mother would think of such an act of forgetting one's roots.

Ever since he obtained the Life Simulator and his martial soul awakened, Su Xing had changed his previous lifestyle. He no longer lay in bed slacking off every day; he started running early every morning and became self-disciplined.

"I don't have one yet, but it should be soon." Su Xing scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Su Xing lay on the soft bed, looking at the assembled pistol and the dozens of bullets on the table. He felt a bit more secure in his heart, and eventually, he fell asleep without realizing it.

The appearance of the yellow soul ring caused the expressions of some senior students eating breakfast nearby to freeze instantly, and a few even had their mouths wide open.

"How is it? Are you satisfied? All the parts are made of high-quality refined iron." Otto laughed.

After paying for his breakfast, Su Xing picked up a large bowl, ladled two large spoonfuls of meat porridge from the pot that was emitting a fragrant aroma, grabbed two steamed buns and an egg from the side, and began to feast at the dining table.

"Oh, San, not bad." Su Xing looked Tang San over and said with a smile.

To put it bluntly, her emotional intelligence was a bit low.

"..." Su Xing was speechless again.

The little girl looked slightly taller than Tang San. A black scorpion braid hung past her buttocks, and her pretty face was white with a rosy tint. Her pink and tender appearance was like a ripe peach.

With this Desert Eagle pistol, as long as Su Xing encountered a Soul Master below level 30, he would have the strength to fight. It could even be said that if he launched a sneak attack, he could probably take down even a level 40 Soul Master with one shot.

"Hey, Uncle Otto!" Su Xing waved his hand and greeted Otto.

After Su Xing arrived at the school gate, he saw a burly man holding a box, standing outside the gate.

These last three words, Su Xing thought to himself, not saying them out loud.

"I wasn't waiting for you; I was just thinking you would be quite suitable to be my... soul ring."

After finishing his run, it was time for breakfast. Su Xing came to the cafeteria and smelled a pungent aroma; the thick meaty scent was extremely tempting.

Hearing Xiao Wu say this, Tang San was even more confused, but he still patted her head and whispered: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"..."

Night fell. Hearing this, Su Xing looked up slightly, just about to speak, but discovered a little girl standing behind Tang San.

Today, Su Xing planned to take a trip to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his first soul ring.

"This soul ring comes from a four-hundred-year-old Datura Snake. The teacher said this soul beast is very suitable as my first soul ring." As he spoke, Tang San retracted his Blue Silver Grass. "Right, Brother Su, your soul power has also reached level 10. Have you obtained your soul ring?"

Heaven Dou Empire, Nuoding City.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?" Tang San naturally noticed the change in Xiao Wu and asked.

"My name is Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' for dancing. My martial soul is a rabbit, a very cute little white rabbit." Xiao Wu made a face at Su Xing and smiled.

Su Xing slowly stood up, gently wiped his mouth, left this cryptic remark, and left the cafeteria without looking back.

"Right, Brother Su, a few days ago the teacher took me to the Soul Hunting Forest, and I obtained my first soul ring. I have now become a Soul Master."

"Hahaha, are you a country bumpkin? Don't you know that once your soul power reaches level 10, you should let your mentor take you to obtain a soul ring?" Xiao Wu curled her lips in disdain and mocked.

"???" Tang San.

Su Xing opened the box and looked: bullet heads, casings, rifling, magazines, springs... all the parts for a Desert Eagle pistol were there. Having obtained the Divine Weapon Crafting Technique from the Life Simulator, Su Xing found making bullets quite easy and didn't take long to complete them. If he were given a blacksmith shop now, he felt he could definitely build a Bullet.

The next morning.

Tang San's face turned slightly red. He turned his head to look at Xiao Wu and introduced: "Her? Her name is Xiao Wu, she is my roommate."

A clear yellow ring of light lit up beneath Tang San's feet, circling his body and rhythmically moving up and down. This was the hallmark of a one-ring Soul Master.

The sky was very clear today. Looking at the rising morning sun and the distant sky rendered in gold, Su Xing slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Director Su, good morning." Su Xing greeted politely.
